Usually after a week I've thought of enough ways to continue the story, or logical point of the book, and I get back after it. There have been many weeks that I set out to write 10,000 words and only wrote 800.

But at my better moments I deal with writer's block by continuing to write around the particular block. For example, if I'm working on a novel, and I'm blocked, I can switch to work on a blog post or a newsletter or a children's book or a nonfiction Christian inspirational text. Having lots of projects at once helps keep production moving even when I'm struggling to keep moving on one particular project.(less)

Six Similarities, A chapter from Moments with Malachi

Unity is important enough to take two moments for celebration and discovery. Our actions are not just our own, but determine the blessings of God upon another. Sharing the same covenant means we have at least six similarities, similarities that deeply connect us to each other, like roots intertwined.

We are united in sin. The first military battle Israel lost was because one man sinned. God told Jo
